Long known as the red-headed step child of the exotic car world, the De Tomaso Pantera is a car that never truly got the respect it deserved. Designed by American Tom Tjaarda for De Tomaso in Italy as a successor to their stunningly beautiful Mangusta, the Pantera was truly a melding of automotive cultures. This 1972 model is currently for sale on eBay and is a striking example of how good these cars can look when put together properly. Owned by an aircraft mechanic since March of 2000, this car comes with full records and service history that promises its new owner many more years of driving pleasure.

The Pantera represents a unique partnership between an Italian coach builder and Ford Motor Company. Combining exotic Italian styling wîth a reliable, easy-to-service Ford engine, the Pantera was available at select dealers across the Ú.S. Early models suffered from overheating and other problems. However, the Pantera was fast, beautiful, and relatively inexpensive.
